See Exactly How We Make Offers On Homes
Let’s pull back the curtain so you can see exactly how we make offers on the homes we buy
It makes the most sense for us to give you the best possible price. We Buy Homes in Harris County is a real estate investing business, in order to remain in business we must acquire homes. We do our best to provide offers that will get accepted which makes us and our sellers happy.
Maximum Allowable Offer
The highest amount we can pay for your house and realistically expect to earn a profit after we update it and sell or lease it. Because we invest in real estate there is a risk involved. In order to limit our risk and provide you with the highest possible offer we use this formula.
Maximum Allowable Offer = After Repair Value – Minimum Profit Margin – Repair Costs – Selling Costs
After Repair Value
The estimated value of a property after completed renovations, not in its current condition. The market value of your property AFTER we purchase and renovate the home. We look at the real estate market as a living, breathing database that is always providing feedback. So if you want to sell your home, we will look at comparable homes that have already been updated and sold sold, specifically homes with similar characteristics such as:
- Square footage
- Lot size
- Bedroom/bathroom mix
- Amenities (garage, pool, gameroom, etc)
From there we need to account for the cost of repairs and updates. Which is why we actually want to visit your property before presenting a CASH OFFER.
Repair Costs
This is what our costs will be to fix, repair & update the home AFTER we purchase it from you. A few major systems that we pay special attention to when it comes to making repairs and updates:
- Heating, Ventilation and Cooling (HVAC)
- Plumbing/Sewer Line
- Electrical
- Roof/Structural
- Foundation
- Windows
Selling Costs
Yes we buy homes for cash and pay your closing costs; however, AFTER we have purchased from you and we’ve updated it we do have to pay to sell the house.
Commissions, closing costs, taxes, holding costs, etc. Keep in mind these are fees you are not paying when you sell your home to us directly.
Minimum Profit
Considering this is a business we must earn a profit in order to continue to operate and provide solutions to homeowners. We would not be able to buy homes, pay contractors, plumbers, electricians, if we do not make a profit. However, our business model calls for us to present the highest possible offer therefore we make a small profit.
Our goal is to purchase many homes earning a small profit on each instead of buying a few properties and making a huge profit on each. This why everyone wins!
Let’s Review with a Home That We Recently Purchased
How We Recently Bought and Updated This Home
The sellers reached out and simply asked how do I sell my home for cash without any hassle, without making any repairs and closing quickly. So we scheduled a time to visit their home. Before our visit we reviewed the market activity for their area and we knew the After Repair Value of this home, the estimated value of a property after completed renovations, was $225K.
This was the as-is condition of the home:
Not a bad looking house, clearly it just needed to be brought into the 21st century.
Based on the comparable homes in the area that recently sold we knew which updates we needed to make. We needed to remove and replace all the flooring, added new plumbing lines, remove and replace dry wall, remove the old laminated countertops and replace with quartz countertops, brand new cabinets and much more.
In order for us to also be able to sell this house (well, our house after we bought it) for $225K, we needed to bring the home to the same condition or better than the other comparable homes in the neighborhood!
Why?
Obviously, we would not be able to sell the home in the as-is state for $225K. All the other houses that sold in the area were updated. Would you as a buyer be interested in buying a house in lesser condition for $225K when a much nicer house sells for the same price? No, of course not!
We walked the home with our contractor to get an idea of what the repairs costs are for the major systems and for the fit and finish of the home. We tried our best to salvage whatever could be salvaged as this is what allowed us to save money and make a strong offer.
Our contractor gave us an accurate Repair Cost. At that point we knew exactly what we would do to the house the second we were done with our walkthrough.
We were then able to present an ALL CASH offer that made sense for us and our business model. The offer also worked for the sellers so we were able to close within a week and the sellers got their money right at closing!.
Now We Are Ready to Present Your Cash Offer
AFTER REPAIR VALUE: $225K
REPAIR COSTS: $40K
SELLING COSTS: 10% x $225K = $22,500
SELLER’S OFFER = After Repair Value – Minimum Profit Margin – Repair Costs – Selling Costs
SELLER’S OFFER = $225,000 – 30% – $40,000 – $22,500
CASH OFFER = $95,000
Let’s Analyze the Offer
How much would it sell for in as-is condition?
I know what you’re thinking, if it would sell for $225k after it was updated, how much would it sell for in as-is condition? The sellers actually listed this home in as-is condition for about $125K.
After 90 days and ZERO offers they lowered their price to $110K. They got an offer but the buyer backed out after the inspection. They put it back on the market for $110K and 3 months later they got another offer and again the buyer asked for the sellers to make repairs.
Their real estate agent reached out to We Buy Homes In Harris County and we guaranteed that we would buy their home and close in 7 days.
It took them 6 months of testing the market and accepting buyer showing requests and being displaced from their home only to finally receive an offers after price drops. And those offers came with inspection and repair contingencies.
So buyer can come as far as 6 months down the line, so for up to 6 more months you are paying utilities, paying a mortgage and paying taxes. Then the seller would be responsible for around 8%-10% closing costs including agent fees and commissions. That takes the $110K down to $99K. If the eventual buyer is not a cash buyer then they would take at least another 30-45 days before they can close. So for another 7 months they would be responsible for the property and all the expenses tied to it.
So they had to make a decision. Sell it for a guaranteed sale for $95K in as little as 7-10 days, or a “maybe sale” for $110K hopefully within 4-6 months.
What If the Repair Costs Were $25K Instead of $40K?
AFTER REPAIR VALUE: $225K
REPAIR COSTS: $25K
SELLING COSTS: 10% x $225K = $22,500
SELLER’S OFFER = After Repair Value – Minimum Profit Margin – Repair Costs – Selling Costs
SELLER’S OFFER = $225,000 – 30% – $25,000 – $22,500
CASH OFFER = $110,000
Yes, that is correct you are able to walk way with more. This is how you know that We Buy Homes in Harris County’s offers are strongly based on the numbers. Nothing more than the numbers. Your cash offer goes from $95K to $110K. Which in turn means if you were to list the home for sell you would actually walk away with less because of the commissions and fees.
